Photographer George Steinmetz decided the best way to get photographs of the world's most extreme deserts, was to do it by paragliding. They took some really amazing video for this production. You can also check out some of the photos at National Geographic.

My one question is about the motor strapped to his back- he even mentions it in the voice over. Does this really count as paragliding? I think the word gliding would suggest that there would be no aid to flight, just wind power. Thoughts?
